There are moments in life when we sit still, hoping someone will come and rescue us.
But what if the help we need has been beside us all along?

This short story is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, alone, or forgotten β€” waiting for someone to save them.
It's a gentle reminder that while support matters, some journeys can only begin when we decide to pick up the oars and move forward β€” no matter how slowly.

Transcript
00:00I was waiting, sitting in my little boat, hoping someone would fix it, row it, guide it, get me to the shore. I waited for a sign, for someone to see me, for help, but no one came, and the waves kept coming.
00:16I felt forgotten, alone, stuck, until one day, I noticed the oars, right there beside me, covered in dust. Maybe, I wasn't meant to be rescued. Maybe, I was meant to remember who I am, so I picked them up, and I started to row, not perfectly, not quickly, but forward.
00:39In stroke by stroke, the shore came closer, and I did too, because no one can carry me all the way to where I'm meant to go. Some journeys, I have to take myself.
